Sustainable Beauty E-Summit REPLAY
The Sustainable Beauty E-Summit happened on February 23, 2025. A full day conference to dive into the nuances of sustainability in the cosmetics sector. Here’s the relay!
The Sustainable Beauty E-Summit is part of my broader free e-conference initiative, geared to democratize accurate information in the cosmetics sector. Too often, industry conferences fail when it comes to accessibility. High registration fees, travel costs, and other barriers create knowledge disparities, making it especially difficult for independent professionals, small businesses, and students to gain access to critical industry insights. My goal with this series is to offer an alternative—one that rivals the best industry conferences in quality but remains 100% free, fully virtual, and always available on replay. That way, whoever you are watching this —whether you work for a global conglomerate, run a small brand, or are an interested consumer—there will be nothing in your way in accessing this event. I would like to demonstrate the value that accessibility brings to industry knowledge, innovation, and progress. Interested in supporting the initiative? Please share!
